A gentleman writing from Philadel- phia says: "It*ein:ors me to look out of my orrice window and see the good old Union Jack flying from hundreds of windows. To mo it is a thrilling eight" --ono that I never expected my oyes to take in." Many athore, no doubt feel like hire, and the Ameri- cans w111 be all the better people for their mere liberal views regarding a flag, That next to their own, at all events, they ought to revere and love to Bee displayed. The'quickness with which the trans- ition bas taken place is what amazes the most of us. Some time or other we hoped Americans would grow lase provincial and more imperial, but this change has come with remarkable speed, This great war is a great quick change artist. It is reversing the con- dition and view of things all over the world; kings are bowing to its inexor- able decree,•and commoners aro throw- ing ctif old ideas with a speed that is lightning quick.

Nut till the able.bodied .nen rteteru eau we tell how many soldiers are like- ly to take up land and farm it. The chances aro that the number will be large, if the men are convinced that the schemes for helping them will be so developed and worked as to oiler clear hope of euceess. A census is now being taken among Canadian soldiers overseas, and on this it should be possible to base an estimate of the number agriculturally inclined. The card issued far the pur- pose by the National Service Commis- sion includes spaces to be filled up with each man's name, age, unit and rank, regimental number, P,, 0. ad- dress before enlistment, and Province. Each soldier is then asked to answer the following questions: — "Which are you, married, single or widower?" 'Name and addrees of last employer, before you enlisted?" , "Sow many dependents have you? State relationship, sex and age of each," "What were you working at?" "Have you a trade or profession? If so, what?" "Is your old position open for you on your return to Canada in fit con- dition?" "Do you Wish to take your discharge in (treat Britain?" "i)o you propose to make your home in Canada, after the war?" '"I?o you wish to take up farming as 9.n occupation?" "slave you worked on a farm? If so, how long?" d "How much money do you expect to have at your disposal on your return to Canada?" ' Dui you desire to take advantage of any available scheme of assisted agri- cultural settlement?' If so, what province do you prefer to settle in?" •"And would you,' if necessary to gain experience, work for prevailing wages on a farm after your return, providing your dependents were in the meanwhile given the same support as they now receive?" Meanwhile the men already back among us are those who have been in- valided bomo, hien recovering from an illness, or disabled seriously enough to prevent their return to the firing line, do not at first feel like taking up the strenuous life of a farm. Nevertheless the vanguard ,of the farming form is already on the spot. Several months ago, four returned soldiers in Alberta enrolled themselves as students in one of the Provincial Agricultural Schools, at Vermilion. To -day, the records of the M.ilitary Hospital's Commission show that 75 men have had their applications grant- ed for agricultural training, besides several passed by the disabled Soldiers Training Boards and awaiting the Commission's approval` Of these 75, as many as 37 are in Alberta, 22 in Saskatchewan, 1.1 in Manitoba and the other two in British Columbia. A considerable proportion are specializ- ing in farm mechanics. THE KID. HAS GONE TO THE COLORS The Kid has gone to the colors: And we don't know what to say; The Kid we have loved and'cuddled Stepped out for the flag today, We thought him a child, a baby, With never a care at all, But his country called him man-eize, And the Kid has healed the call. He paused to watch the recruiting Where fired by fife and drum, He bowed his head to the Old Glory And thought that it whispered "Dome!" The Kid, not being a slacker, Stood forth with patriot joy, To add his name to the roster— And God! we're proud of the boy! The Kid has gone to the Colors; It seems but a little while Since he drilled a schoolboy army, In a truly martial style, But now he's a map, a (soldier, And we laid him a listening ear; For his heart is a heart all loyal, °flnscotirged by the curse of fear. Lou dad, u hon he told hint, shuddered, ;Hie mother—God bleep heti=-cried; Yet, blest with a mother nature, She wept with a mother pride. But he whose old shoulders straight: erred. Was granddad—for memory ran: To years when he, too, a yotingeter, Was changed by the ]i lag to a man!

Nicholas is the name of this mate. Boyd, the Swamp Adder,- as he is known, a desperate, bloodthirsty creature, captures the caste ways. Ramon offers him a large sum of- • money if he will kill Phillip and Juan .and Vete the rest. Phillip promptly Zen ere-a,la4oer sum 'for the pirate's 'refusal. But the crafty pirate ascer- taine that neither of the men have any money at all.

ADVENTURESS LOCKS Two IN SINI:KING SKIP -Both Mr. Richman and Mr. Dunn are forced to be prisoners in the bot - oma of an old sloop through Dorothy Kelly's wickedness in the thrilling story by Louis Joseph Vanes. The ship used for this purpose was necessarily sunk later in the story when Mies Kelly opens the port -holes and lets the old bulk slowly go to the bottom with its two prisoners. , The camera -hewn Mr. Richman and Mr. Donn climb higher and higher on the ladder toward the g..exed manhole which opens onto the deck as the wa- ter rushing through the hole in the side rises around their bodies. At last death seems Inevitable, and Mr. Richman is forced to dive into the water and ewimmirlg underneath all the time, seek the hole now covered through which he may swim to safety and in turn roseh the deck and release the lock which holds the grating down, thus freeing Mr. Dunn, There was no way to "take 'this scene," so Mr. Richman realized if he did not reach the deck in time that bis fellow -player would suffer to no small extent through hie tardiness. Be tells how he miscalculated, wast- ing live precious minutes in finding the porthole, and how he reached the deck none to soon to open the grated stole and permit Mr. Dunn to reach safety. "I never before realized the truth of the expression, 'like ar'rat in a hole,' until the water reached my neck and Mr. Richman did not appear,",_ Mr. Dunn, after he had reached the deck. "I guess I had no trouble in registering the proper fright, for I was nearly resigned to my fate when res- cued," CHARLES RICHMAN RESCUED FROM 1100 In the story, Mr, Richman is forced to sink into this bog while walking through a tropical forest, Realizing his peril, he shouts to Mr. Dunn to go back and attempt through some means to rescue him. In order to make the story realistic, it was neceseary that Mr. Richman really sink into a bog. Therefore, Mr. Dunn had no time to spare in going around another way, climbing a tree whose branches overhung the bog, and by bearing his weight down on the branch causing 1t to fall so that Mr, Richman might take hold and as the branch went up go with it. The mire into which thie popular star stoke is the thickest, blackest and stickiest that has ever been diecovered, as Air. Richman, Will testify.

Many samples of this artist's work are al• ready scattered throughout Canada, and owners are just beginning to real- ize that they have an instrument of wonderful merit. JOB ARDERN was no ordinary man. One might go beyond that, and say that he was not an ori inary-look- ing man, for like Tennyson, he had the kind of weil-cut, intellectual fea- tures that arrest the attention of the casual passer-by. He was born in the Cheshire village of Wilmslow in the latter part of the reign of George 1V, in 1820, to be particular—and spent the whole ofhe t 80 years of his life in his native village. Ho was by trade a carpenter, and used tools with great precision and facility, so we find that about IS55 be commenced to make violins. Where, and with whom, he received his first introduction to the art of vio- lin -making is unknown, but undoubt- edly he bad found his true metier, and soon produced violins of quite unusual merit. Being in comfortable circum-, stancee, and by no means of a pushing disposition, he made little of no effort to dispose of them. His method of workbag was quite original, many of his violins having been partly matte many years before their completion, thus allowing ample time for perfect seasoning, In the "History of Cheshire". pub. fished iu 1860, he is mentioned in con- nection with musical instrument work. In a book publiehed some years age -- "Wilmslow, Past and Present"—the author says, speaking of many years ago, "We had an amateur string band, which need to meet weekly. Some of the violins used by the members ate made by•Mr. Job Arden. of Wilmslow. who has made over 500 instruments, the quality of which will entitle him to rank among the noted violin makers of the nineteenth century." This opinion is aperfectly just one, as the makerle finish and style were exceptionally good. He had a dainty Italian style, such as is rare indeed amongst the British makers, and any- one looking at one of bis violins will be immediately struck by the marked air of grace and elegance which they possess. This, however, doesnot in any way detract from the solidity of build, which is so necessary for the fine tone production. . So Job Ardern worked on, year after year in the shade of the giant holly tree which stood, and which still stands, be- fore his workroom window, He was an admirable example of the orafteman of the past, deeply in love with his art, and by no means anxious to part from a single specimen of his work; indeed he took pleasure to see his violins accumulate around him. Upon the shelves of the workroom, around the walls of the parlour, hang- ing from the rafters of the attic, placed away carefully in boxes, violins were everywhere to be found, and in this congenial atmosphere the productive years sped on, old age bringing no ap- parent diminutive of his powers of in- dustry and high finish, In the City of Bristol there is a steep, precipitiaus street called "Christmas Steps," and an ancient stone tablet records the fact that in the given years the work was "finished and done," work which, as be said himself, would be highly appreciated when he died, Yes; Job Ardern was right, and .the future will give him an honored place amonget British makers of violins, DON'T STOPI When someone atop alvertteing, Someone stops buying.
